Trump is trying to blame Buttigieg for air safety issues from this past week.

    He was probably trying to repeat a vicious joke that one of his henchmen told, and he botched it, because above all else, his primary characteristic is his virtuosic incompetence.

    “You know, he drives to work in his bicycle with his, with his, in all fairness, with his husband on the back, which is a nice loving relationship,” Trump said sarcastically. “But he didn’t have a clue. This guy… didn’t have a clue.”

    Yeah, everyone knows that only homos love their partners. Real men like Trump view their partners as trophies and fleshlights.

      “But he didn’t have a clue. This guy… didn’t have a clue.”

      Seriously, Trump calls people “low IQ” and says they “don’t have a clue” while being the absolute stupidest motherfucker who ever fucking lived, how is he not called out for this? Trump’s reading comprehension and speech is at the level of a young child. I swear I don’t understand how this absolutely stupid, vile excuse for a man can be president of the most powerful nation on earth.

        The realm in which he picks his fights is full of people who get off on being “above the fray.” Every time he attacks someone who can defend themselves, he quietly stops in a hurry.

        The phrase ‘women let men have sex with them’ bothers me. It frames sex as something women permit men to do, rather than a mutual choice both partners actively make.

        In a relationship sex is (or should be) a mutual expression of attraction, love, desire, acceptance, understanding.

        The idea that women “let” men have sex with them is problematic because it frames intimacy as something one person grants another, like a favour, rather than a shared experience. In healthy relationships, sex isn’t about permission or transactions—it’s about mutual desire and connection.

        The word “let” also subtly reinforces old stereotypes, where men are seen as chasing sex and women as controlling access to it. Relationships work when both partners feel equally free to express what they want, say no without pressure, and see intimacy as something they create together. Consent is an ongoing dialogue where both people check in, respect boundaries, and prioritise each other’s comfort.

        Ultimately, sex shouldn’t feel like a performance or a prize. It’s about vulnerability, trust, and collaboration. Good relationships thrive when both people feel heard, valued, and free to be themselves without rigid roles.

        I’m of course not suggesting that there are any indications that Melania and Donald have anything approximating what could be called a good relationship.

          The small amount of comprehension you showed in the last paragraph made the entire soap box unnecessary. Context is important here. The entire point is that Melania has never wanted sex with trump, and has never enjoyed it, but just allows it to happen under certain circumstances. It’s the entire theme of the mockery.

          I’m not the person you’re responding to, but tbh, though I wouldn’t ever describe my relationship in those terms, it seems like they might be true to their dynamic.

          You know, I would love to agree with you, but that’s just not the case for many husbands in hetero relationships. I watched my wife’s libido fall through the floor after the birth of our child. After years of therapy and communication and commitment to the relationship, we got it back from once every two months to almost once every week, and that’s the max she said she’s willing to commit to at the moment. I’d be more content with 2-3 times that.

          Some tropes exist because there’s a bit of them grounded in reality.

          • I think you’re not comprehending the commenters point.

            It’s not saying that men and women have exactly the same desires and necessities. It’s saying that framing sex as something that men do to women is problematic.

      Scott Bessent also has a Husband so kinda curious how he would feel if trump ever rotated to him to throw him under the bus.

            I’m eternally grateful for the fact that I don’t live in America

            But the ripples of shit from that country affect people all over the world

            The most vulnerable people are always hit the hardest by American stupidity

    Because all of Trump’s relationships are transactional, he can’t fathom a relationship between two people who actually love each other and work together as equal partners.
